At this time, Mr. Xie's family and friends also arrived at the Provincial Chinese Medicine Hospital together. The doctor informed them that given Mr. Xie's current condition, an immediate craniotomy was necessary. Even though there was only a small amount of blood, they had to take the risk, otherwise the outcome would be even more unimaginable. After obtaining the patient's family consent, the surgery began.
Weibo recommendation | Today's Weibo Hot Topics (Editor: SN017) —— When sophomore student Xiao Zhang from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications Lingtong College saw the news forwarded on Renren Network, he had already planned to turn off his phone and go to sleep, in order to rest up for the final exam on the 11th. Upon seeing the rescue information, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that he might be RH negative B type blood. To confirm, he immediately made a call to his parents back home. His parents definitely told their son that he indeed was this blood type. And when they heard that their son planned to donate blood for an emergency patient, they fully supported him and urged Xiao Zhang to hurry to the hospital.
Xiao Zhang dialed the mobile phone number left online. Mr. Sun, who answered the call, felt as if he had found a treasure, never expecting that someone would step forward and respond to the online rescue appeal. He immediately told Xiao Zhang all the details of the incident and informed him of the hospital and ward where the patient was located.
However, due to the large amount of blood loss inherent in craniotomy itself, plus concerns about the possibility of an aneurysm rupturing during surgery causing massive bleeding, the several hundred milliliters of blood sent were insufficient to meet the surgical needs.
While everyone anxiously waited outside the operating room, they couldn't stay idle either. They picked up their phones one by one, calling anyone who might have a way, hoping to leverage their network to find someone with RH negative B type blood. Amidst all the busyness, a friend surnamed Sun suddenly thought that the power of the internet should not be underestimated, as many people have been helped after seeking assistance online. Thus, he called his son, asking him to try to issue an appeal for help online.
Doctor Ye immediately contacted the Jiangsu Blood Station and the blood banks of various hospitals in Nanjing, searching for "panda blood." Around 11 PM, a blood bank responded saying they had found several hundred milliliters of RH negative B type blood. At midnight yesterday, the precious plasma was delivered to the operating room outside the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Jiangsu Province.

Even though Xiao Zhang's blood wasn't used, Mr. Xie's relatives still expressed deep gratitude towards him. "Coming in the middle of the night just to help others, such actions make us all moved and respectful," Mr. Sun said. However, Xiao Zhang felt it was nothing, "Drawing a tube of blood has no impact on me, but for others, it might be a life. If I hadn't done so today, I would probably feel guilty for my entire life."
Outside the emergency room, over a dozen relatives were extremely anxious. The hospital informed them that due to the extreme rarity of RH negative blood, there was none in stock in their blood bank. However, considering Mr. Xie's situation, without immediate surgery, the condition would surely become more critical.
Mr. Xie is a businessman in his 50s. On the evening of the day before yesterday at around 9 PM, while walking alone on the street, he suddenly suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and was discovered by passing citizens who urgently called the ambulance to send him to the hospital. Dr. Ye, who was on duty that night, stated that upon arrival at the hospital, Mr. Xie already exhibited dilated pupils and difficulty in autonomous breathing, leading to the immediate decision for surgery. However, after performing routine checks, Dr. Ye discovered that this patient was actually RH negative B type blood, which is extremely rare. A search through the blood bank of the Provincial Chinese Medicine Hospital revealed no such rare blood.
From this point onwards, a race against time to find the blood began.
At around 3 AM yesterday morning, Xiao Zhang and his classmates returned to school and soon fell into a deep sleep because they still had to face the afternoon final exams.
On the evening of January 10th at around 9 PM, Mr. Xie, who suddenly suffered from cerebral hemorrhage, was rushed to the emergency room of the Jiangsu Provincial Chinese Medicine Hospital by ambulance, already exhibiting symptoms such as dilated pupils and difficulty in autonomous breathing. Seeing this, Dr. Ye, who was on duty, did not hesitate and immediately decided to operate. However, the results of the blood test came out, alarming the doctor - Mr. Xie was RH negative B type blood - commonly known as "panda blood".

Dr. Ye introduced that currently, the hematoma in Mr. Xie's skull has been cleared, and the condition has temporarily stabilized. The cause of the bleeding will need further examination after his condition completely stabilizes in over half a month. However, plasma will definitely be indispensable in future treatments. Xiao Zhang also expressed that if the patient needs it, he is willing to provide life-saving blood anytime.
When Xiao Zhang and his classmates reached the hospital, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, and the surgery was halfway done. Outside the operating room, Xiao Zhang immediately went for a blood type check. The results showed that Xiao Zhang's blood type was indeed the RH negative B type blood that Mr. Xie needed. In other words, if the surgery required it, Xiao Zhang's blood could be immediately transfused into Mr. Xie's body. Meanwhile, the doctors performing the surgery were doing their utmost to control the patient's blood loss, and under their efforts, the patient did not experience massive bleeding, and the plasma temporarily brought from other blood banks was sufficient.
In the dormitory, the two roommates who had not yet rested also sprang into action upon hearing the news, with one person even specially finding a car. The three young men then took the car from Xianlin to rush to the Provincial Chinese Medicine Hospital in the middle of the night.
As soon as he received the call from his father, Xiao Sun got busy. He posted the details of the incident and the rescue appeal on Weibo, Renren Network, and several well-known forums. Each rescue message touched numerous netizens' hearts. Although they felt powerless to directly help, they all tried their best to forward the information, allowing it to spread more widely.
Netizens actively forwarded the rescue information.
